4/18/2015MTI presentation8 Some of the Current Programs at MTI Page 2  Understanding Metal Dusting and the Development of MD Resistant Alloys  Detection of Hydrogen in Titanium  Improvements in Metal Casting Quality

9
4/18/2015MTI presentation9 Terahertz Imaging to Detect Damage in FRP Structures and Detect CUI  Program just finishing at RPI to leverage the THz imaging technology used in security programs to CPI use.  Detection of laminar defects in FRP in a manner similar to that used by NASA on the Space Shuttle  Detection of corrosion under insulation

14
4/18/2015MTI presentation14 Arson and Sabotage  Must never be mentioned lightly  Turns an incident site into a crime scene  Most companies hate to talk about it for fear of copycats  More common than one might think

17
4/18/2015MTI presentation17 Storm Damage  Notorious 2005 Hurricane season made it clear that storm damage assessment was as important as fire or explosion damage assessment  Storm damage assessment similar to fire damage assessment  Balance early return to service with safe reliable operation

20
4/18/2015MTI presentation20 Operation, Maintenance and Repair of Glass Lined Equipment  New book that has just been published  Written by industry experts  Details inspection and assessment of GLS  Liberally illustrated with repair types and repair instructions

26
4/18/2015MTI presentation26 Understanding Metal Dusting  Expert review of the various theories that are used to explain metal Dusting  JV with the National Laboratories for modeling Metal Dusting  Testing of various alloys for resistance to Metal Dusting  Development of a new alloy

30
4/18/2015MTI presentation30 Continuing Research into Metal Dusting  Understand the effects of additives to the gas streams to slow or eliminate metal dusting  Understand the effects of surface coatings that either protect the metal surface or poison the metal dusting reaction.

31
4/18/2015MTI presentation31 Detection of Hydrogen in Titanium  Hydrided titanium can be “glass” brittle  It looks the same as non-hydrided titanium  MTI members would like a simple NDT technique to be able to detect hydriding

33
4/18/2015MTI presentation33 Detection of Hydrogen in Titanium  Contracted to develop a simple tool to detect hydrogen  Electrical resistance change based  Technique has led to another, alternative technique that may be more sensitive

37
4/18/2015MTI presentation37 Casting Quality Prediction  Objectives of Program  Create data necessary for all important CPI alloys  Develop a procedure that can be used to validate the capability of a foundry to use the Niyama simulation

38
4/18/2015MTI presentation38 MTI Sponsored Research  Projects that improve industrial competitiveness  Covers a wide variety of subjects that are important to members  Done by pooling funding to develop and understand materials and corrosion issues that are of common interest  Membership is open to all companies.
